I am trying to use jQuery to do some validation on a form; I need a method where I can validate if all controls in a have been filled out \ selected. The CheckBoxLists my application supports are giving me a hard time as it seems like jQuery likes to address each checkboxes individually, but what I really need to do is evaluate all CBLs in a div and know if each has had at least one individual box checked.

I can name the DIV and the individual CBL's IDs as I see fit (so can do CBL1, CBL2, etc.). I really need a way to parse everything in a

+1 but... Why the $ signs in front of the variable name? Oh, and you need a var statement in there.

@Billy ONeal, some people prefix jQuery selector variables with $ to identify it as a jQuery selector. I don't always, and I couldn't tell you why I did it here... Fixed the var statement.
